Figworts are tall, flowering plants used as scenery. In Pikmin 1, figwort plants sport bright blue flowers. In Pikmin 2, figwort blossoms have a deep pinkish hue. Although Pikmin 2 does not have the tiny black bugs from the first game, figworts may conceal larger creatures such as Doodlebugs or Unmarked Spectralids. In certain areas and caves, dead or dormant figworts can be seen, possessing pale or red-orange leaves and without flowers. In Pikmin 3, only the blue figwort plant appears.
In Pikmin 1, touching certain figwort clusters will cause a swarm of tiny black bugs to emerge from them. They briefly fly around and then quickly retreat, and cannot be specifically interacted with whatsoever. These bugs also appear around some clovers, and even in isolated spots.

Notes
Olimar's notes
- "This plant offers an excellent example of a non-native species introduced into the ecosystem by some unknown method. Upon introduction, it quickly established a foothold and adapted to the new habitat. This plant's distinct flowers usually exhibit a stunning blue color in early spring, but recent fieldwork has recorded specimens displaying a deep red hue. Although this may represent a sudden deviation in genetics of the species, the red coloration is much more likely an anomaly. Additional readings suggest no significant atmospheric or solar radiation changes have occurred in the ecosystem, leaving open the possibility that soil composition and mineral deposits may have affected petal coloration."
Louie's notes
- "This titillating ingredient tastes impossibly fresh, but you must cook it immediately after picking. If you don't, it'll go bad within minutes!"

Notes
Olimar's observations
- “The flowers of this planet come in many different colors. I imagine these would be great for a garden. I've been thinking of trying to cultivate some of the plants here myself. I could start my own garden near our landing site at Flooded Fields! Wow, that could be a good idea, actually. I should get around to that.”
